Is it possible to combine fields and text in a select statement? In a dropDownList I want to show a combination of two different fields, and have the value of the selected item come from a third field. So, I thought I could maybe do something like this: SELECT DISTINCT GRP AS GroupName, "Year: " + YEAR + "Grade: " + GRD AS ShowMe FROM GE_Data WHERE (DIST = @DIST)
I hoped that would take the values in YEAR and GRD and concatenate them with the other text. Then my dropDownList could show the ShowMe value and have the GroupName as the value it passes on. However, when I test this in the VS Query Builder, it says that Year and Grade are unknown column names and changes the double-quotes to square brackets. If this is possible, or there's a better way to do it, I'd love some more info. Thanks! -Mathminded
I want to combine three fields together as a description in a select statement. When I try using the & or + I'm told that the datatypes are incompatable. How can I join them? (Item_Description is Nvarchar, Item_Cost is Money, Is_Active is bit) Select Item_Description &' '& Item_Cost &' '& Is_Active As Description FROM tblItemList I tried Casting this but same incompatable message. Select Item_Description &' '& CAST(Item_Cost AS NVARCHAR) &' '& CAST(Is_Active AS NVARCHAR) As Description FROM tblItemList What I'm hoping to end up with is: Brake Pedal, $36.00, True
SELECT SID, SAmAccountName, DOMAIN, EmployeeID, CustAtr, DisplayName, UPN, Date, flag, Date_Mod, Date_Exp, IsActive, OU, Description, IDType FROM dbo.CORP_EMP_IDS as corp_emp_ids WHERE (EmployeeID BETWEEN 'A' AND 'Z') AND (IsActive = 1) AND (EmployeeID NOT IN ('gen', 'G', 'M', 'S', 'T', 'TT', 'AdminAcct', 'TestAcct', 'ConfRoom', 'AcctAdmin')) AND (Date_Exp > GETDATE() OR Date_Exp = '') AND (SAmAccountName NOT LIKE '%$%')
UNION
SELECT SID, SAmAccountName, DOMAIN, EmployeeID, CustAtr, DisplayName, UPN, Date, flag, Date_Mod, Date_Exp, IsActive, OU, Description, IDType FROM dbo.CORP_EMP_IDS AS CORP_EMP_IDS_1 WHERE (CustAtr BETWEEN 'A' AND 'Z') AND (IsActive = 1) AND (CustAtr NOT IN ('gen', 'G', 'M', 'S', 'T', 'TT', 'AdminAcct', 'TestAcct', 'ConfRoom', 'AcctAdmin','AdminAccts')) AND (Date_Exp > GETDATE() OR Date_Exp = '') AND (SAmAccountName NOT LIKE '%$%')
I want to combine two of my fields somewhat like when you combine to char fields and concatenate them. But these two fields are int. How do i do that? Here's my query right now:
Code Block SELECT AutoID, CONVERT(Varchar(Mars_Calender_Year )+ CONVERT(Varchar(Mars_Calender_Period_Code) as MarsId FROM NavisionReplication.dbo.Tbl_Mars_Calender ORDER BY Mars_Calender_Year DESC
Good morning.I am importing an XLS file into one of my tables. The fields are:Date Id Time IO12/22/2006 2 12:48:45 PM 912/22/2006 16 5:40:55 AM 112/22/2006 16 12:03:59 PM 2When I do the import, I get the following:Date Id Time IO12/22/2006 12:00:00AM 2 12/30/1899 12:48:45 PM 212/22/2006 12:00:00AM 16 12/30/1899 5:40:55 AM 112/22/2006 12:00:00AM 16 12/30/1899 12:03:59 PM 2Here are my doubts:1. Would it be better to combine the Date & Time fields into onecolumn? If so, how?2. What issues or problems might I have when I program SQL reports, ifI leave the fields as they are?Any comments or suggestions will be very much welcomed.Cheers mates.

Here are my doubts:
1. Is it be better to combine the Date & Time fields into one column? Advantages/Disadvantages? 2. If I don't combine them, should I use varchar or datetime data type? 2. What issues or problems might I have when I program SQL reports, if I leave the fields as they are?

I have 2 tables, each with one ID field, a separate Date and Time fields and a number of other fields. The tables contain duplicates on the ID field. I want to do a UNION keeping only the record with the latest Date and Time.
This would work: SELECT MyTab.myKeyField, Max(MyTab.myDate) AS myDate FROM (SELECT myKeyField, myDate from Table1 union SELECT myKeyField, myDate from Table2) AS MyTab GROUP BY MyTab.myKeyField
But is only taking care of Date, not Time (some records have the same date but different times) The other problem is, when I add more fields, I have to include them in the GROUP BY clause, and this way I end up with duplicates (because some other fields have different values)
I have 2 text data type columns that I would like to combine into a new column. I'd also like to add a newline character between each column value when I combine them. I've tried columnA + columnB but that didn't work. How could I do that?
Hi I have a table that has two columns whose values need to be combined into one column and pipe delimed into the first one. But I am not sure how to writed the query.
Here is my atmempt, which by the way does not work, but you might understand what I am trying to do.
update tabmodulesettings set settingvalue = (Select settingvalue from tabmodulesettings as t2 where t2.settingname='m2' and t.tabmoduleid=t2.tabmoduleid) + '|' + (select settingvalue from tabmodulesettings as t3 where t3.settingname='m7' and t.tabmoduleid=t3.tabmoduleid) from tabmodulesettings t where settingname='m2'
I have one table with text column(varchar50) and 2 value columns(INT)
it looks like this: c1, c2, c3 1, null, text1 2, null, text2 3, null, text3 4, 3, text4
What i want to do is to combine c3 on row 3 and 4 so the output would look like this: c1, c2, c3 1, null, text1 2, null, text2 3, null, text3 4, 3, text3 ext4
I have tried to use CASE with no luck.
edit: output like this is also fine c1, c2, c3 1, null, text1 2, null, text2 3, null, text3 4, 3, text4 5, null, text3 ext4
Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure: Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK) Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar) I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query: CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID) But this gave me the error: Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns. I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like. Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.
I have followed many tutorials on selecting and replacing text in text fields, varchar fields and char fields, but I have yet to find a single script that will to all 3 based on field type. Let's assume for a moment that I don't know where all in my database a certain value that I need changed resides ... i.e., the data's tablename and fieldname. How would I go about doing the following ... or more importantly, is this even possible in a SQL only procedure?1) Loop over entire database and get all user tables2) Loop over all user tables and get all fields3) Loop over all fields and determine the field type4) switch between field types and change a string of text from 'a' to 'b'Please be gentle, I'm a procedure newb.
I have a data table in my project that has a "text" (not varchar) field in it. I am trying to load this field with little paragraphs of text for showing on my pages. How do I get the free text loaded into the table? The database explorer and all the data grid controls cut the text off at one line. There doesn't seem to be any way to get multiline text into this table.
I am new to SQL Server development, but I use the automated features in Enterprise Manager a lot.
I have a table with a specific format already existing in a SQL Server 2000 database. This is generated once a day from a flat file received from an outside vendor. I am now receiving a similar flat file from another vendor which is nearly identical, but with two differences.
First, the new flat file is missing two columns (not critical data).
Next, there is one column that is out of order in comparison to the other flat file (aside from the 2 missing columns).
I need a generic example of how to remove specific records from a table and add these new ones (from the new flat file) through the SQL Server. My intention is to have a job run at a specific time through the SQL Server.
Any help is appreciated. If you know of a good tutorial or something out there, I would be more than happy to check it out. Thank you so much for your help!
I have write two query but its only work one at a time need your expertise what i am doing wrong.
[Category].Category AS project_type, [SalesManager].SalesManager As Manager, FROM [Category] INNER JOIN (Projects INNER JOIN [MO/FSC] ON Projects.ProjectID = [MO/FSC].Project) ON [Category].ID = Projects.Category FROM [SalesManager] INNER JOIN (Projects INNER JOIN [MO/FSC] ON Projects.ProjectID = [MO/FSC].Project) ON [SalesManager].ID = Projects.SalesManagerID
I am trying to write a SQL statement query, that will calculate the SUM value in one table for a March period, and update that value to another table, here is what I have so far, but the compile error says Operation must use an updatable query.
UPDATE League_Totals SET League_Totals.March_Total = (SELECT SUM(Result_Value) FROM Result_Details WHERE LEAP_Date = "March_2014");
Is it possible to combine a detailed query with its related count and sum without using any #temp tables at all?
ex. select customerID, customerName, (select count(orderID) from tblOrder where orderDate > '01/01/2003' and orderStatus = 'active') as countActive, (select count(orderID) from tblOrder where orderDate > '01/01/2003' and orderStatus = 'inactive') as countInActive from rfCustomers
something like that? I was heard SQL2k has some new feature like this, or a UDF may be required? Currently, I have to use #temp table to get it.
using SQL 6.5 sp_makewebtask in a stored procedure I want to create a press-info file. My query calls four fields, a datum field, two varchar fields and a text field, it's the field "PrText" in my example:
EXEC sp_makewebtask @outputfile='F:EntwicklungRedaktionZeitwenden27.ht m', @query='SELECT Datum, Ort, Headline, PrText FROM news WHERE ID = 27', @templatefile='F:EntwicklungRedaktionZeitwendenTem plates.htm'
My question: Am I limited to 255 characters in this case? After 255 characters the text is cut off and I have only a truncated text fragment.
Is there a possibility to get the whole text without using @blobfmt (I don't want to use this parameter because I want to have the datum data, the varchar headline AND the text in ONE HTML-file.)
I have tried the same as dynamic query in ASP where I have no problem to get the whole content of the text field, but I want to create a static file because this information will be read often, but won't be updated frequently and I don't want to charge the server resources to much.
Has anybody an idea? Any help would be appreciated.
The Text datatype can hold several million characters The size of a record can be no more than 8 KB in normal data.
Created a table with one text field. For some reason can only store 1K of data into it. Even if the 8K limit was a factor (which it shouldn't for a text field) I cannot add more than 1K of data into my text field. 1023 characters to be exact.
Why is SQL Server 2000 doing this and more importantly how to resolve?
